Hello Friday!

Happy Friday the 13th! My very favorite day. I'm a 13er...born on the 13th, son born on 13th, husband born on 13th, married on the 13th...you get the idea.

This day is special because I'm heading out to Douglas (which is on Lake Michigan for those who don't live in these parts) to a little 50s decorated cottage with a fantastic lake view (made even more fantastic by the new snow) to knit/spin/crochet/drink/talk with some of my Yarnie friends. I promise to take pictures to show you next week.

This week I have just one project that I'm working on...called Hinagiku Hat. It's a slouchy hat with 3 inches of 1x1 twisted rib then a whole lot of daisy stitch. Progress so far...

you might recognize the yarn. Although the color is terrible in these pics. It's the last skein of the Berrocco Ultra Alpaca that I purchased for The Saint's Big Ass Sweater. It's much dreamier knit on size 7 needles, LOL

What are you working on these days?

If you'd like to see some more projects you can check out the peeps that post to the Fiber Arts Friday round-up over on Andrea's blog.

This week LittleDog says...

don't forget to bundle up before you go outside this weekend. It's chilly out there!

I'm loving the hat so far - I'm kind of a big grey fan. And I'll also echo the daisy stitch query - although I do know there's a daisy lace stitch pattern, which does not seem to be what's happening in your slouchy hat.

Keep LittleDog warm (he looks good in his coat!), and have a great weekend.
